Fantasy Football Tonight 8/1
Just some quick hitters tonight as I finish off my weekend in Minnesota in style by hitting up the blackjack tables at the Mystic Lakes Casino & Resort here in lovely Prior Lakes.
-- Carson Palmer has not practiced the past couple of days due to a nasty case of the stomach flu. Jordan Palmer and J.T. O'Sullivan have seen most of the action in Carson's place but neither have fared too well. If any of you are thinking that J.T. O'Sullivan can recreate his electric start to the 2008 season at any point if Carson Palmer were to go down please remember this. O'Sullivan was playing in Mike Martz pass heavy timing route system, which is a perfect fit for guys like him and Marc Bulger. But just like Bulger, you take away that system and the numbers just aren't going to be there.
-- Browns kicker Phil Dawson indeed did show up for the start of training camp today. I was very suspicious of his demands to hold out if he wasn't awarded a new contract due to the fact that there are a bunch of quality kickers out there without jobs right now. I guarantee the Browns would have no problems getting another capable kicker at a much cheaper price too.
-- Speaking of the Browns, Brady Quinn got the nod to start practices as the teams QB1 but he has been outplayed by Derek Anderson so far by a wide margin. Anderson has started out strong and is starting to catch some buzz from those covering the Browns camp as well as the first year coaching staff.
-- Kevin Jones is officially a good handcuff for Matt Forte this year assuming Jones stays healthy himself. Everybody is telling me how great Jones is looking right now but I want to see this for myself and I will when I head down to Bears camp in a few weeks. They are saying that Jones has a burst once again and that he doesn't look like the same player that was in here last season.
